There is a freedom at the intersection of: entrepreneurship, enlightenment and enchantment. The path of Grace, lined with 22,000+ documented moments of daily gratitude (1999-2018), lead me here. Enjoy the daily wisdom funnies, especially the present day commentaries!

You know you're tight with your roomie when Instagram suggests her mom as the top 3 people you should follow, lol!

Felt so good to go pillow shopping with Maria, support mom and pop shop, swing by hair salon to ask for an appointment, then go to Muelle Uno and buy a dress. It all just flowed, and in great company <3 I felt soooo good. She is my good luck charm!

Vipassna did warn me that sankaras come to the surface. Maybe X is just a vehicle to help me express myself, ask for what I want, let go, not react, not play victim, and not generate more sankaras. Not react as my inner child tantrum and disappointment. Not react as my inner teenager with anger and resentment. Not react with my young adult with f*ck off looser, we're over! Time to focus on myself again. Focus all of me on me. Book my tickets, make my plans. Flush that lukewarm non-committal type down the toilet.

Thank god Maria came with me to ID office so I had someone to roll my eyes and laugh with [at the bureaucracy, inefficiency and incompetency] instead of getting angry. She was so generous to let me "borrow" her bank account to pay the ID fee!

Assisting CTI Synergy with ease and grace. So peaceful. So quiet and yummy.

My introversion helps me intuit fact and read unspoken meaning. Yay. Negative side effect: I don't ask for help, I become hyper self-sufficient. My HSP helps me intuit the right answer and flow. Eg. I can absorb X's sense of humour into my writing without even trying. Negative side effect: being a victim doormat. Sigh.

Feels sooo good to clean out my contact list and let go of scarcity, fear of missing out, and hoarding tendencies, as if there were not enough names in the world. May the NEW flow in abundantly with ease and grace. Amen. It's 3am and I'm not tired at all. I could keep going.

Remembered the day I jumped out of bed at 5am after taking X's marketing e-course to work on website ideas and on my own portfolio

Counselling session topic: Need reassurance of our relationship/attachment. So X needs to separate the doubt of yourself from the doubt of our relationship. Exercise: I need you to provide xyz (eg. by being committed) while you go through what you're going through.

Is it twisted that I'm excited when flights get cancelled *outside* the US because I get a taxi voucher to a hotel room all to mysef; instead of taking the bus to a guest bedroom? LOL! Just no flight cancellations inside the US please. Oh god. US airlines suck! No, thank you.

I understand god. By not having a low vibe partner is how I'm able to fulfil my higher calling. So until my vibe is high enough to attract high vibe partner, I must be single. It's cruel and I accept it. Life was never meant to be fair! And I accept that now too. I will have my partner when I can trust my soul again as oppose to my body's hormonal cocktail.

I looooove coaching P! She's so energetic, positive, adventurous, grateful. Amaaaazing client!! Not like X who has already given up on herself.

Oh my darling little girl, crying wondering why he doesn't want her when she knows she's awesome. It's because he was not meant for her. Actually, it's not even been a week, so everyone [inside my head] just needs to chill the f*ck out!!!

Maybe my suggestion to X about creating relationship program was from my own need to create a love program...

Hearing Will say about Mary: I'm a lucky dawg. One year ago I married this beautiful, amazing woman. <3 <3 <3

HI • I'M ELLA

Founder of Guide to Grace
A promise of soul maturation + lifestyle freedom

I was particularly (and pleasantly) surprised about how the whole process made me slow down, and that has been priceless. It’s been incredibly fun and insightful to work with the amazing Ella.

I now have a much better understanding of the big picture, of what needs to be done and in what order. It has helped me put all the pieces of the puzzle together and now I feel I have a solid foundation to build a business that is sustainable. I feel more in charge of my own fate, which is truly liberating and pacifying.

Maria Arredondo

Coach & Founder, Pivot Mundi

I’m proud of myself for even starting this whole journey! I’m generally the care giver in all other aspects of my life, so asking for help and inviting allies into my world, has not been a habit of mine. It felt great to commit and follow through – I’ve been erasing some negative voices from the past through the process. I’m back to my 10 year old mentality; “I can do anything”!!

Megan Murphy

Speaker & Workshop Leader

During these months, I’ve had “aha” moments over and over again. I took the time to give myself that gift of reflection and understanding of myself. It’s accelerated the personal growth that is integral to the field I’m in. This solid foundation will keep holding me up to be able to go so much higher.

Coaching with Ella is about helping me do the work in a better way, with tons of support and cheering on along the way. It also gave me confidence and it was so much easier with a coach and an instruction manual of sorts. Be ready for that infusion of excitement!

Hi • I'm Ella

Founder of Guide to Grace
A promise of soul maturation + lifestyle freedom

Working with Ella helped me rise stronger after some setbacks. I was able to shift my old mindset and create a new one: freer, younger, more authentic and wild, that is what I needed to create my desired freedom lifestyle.

I am now more confident. I learnt how to honor my inner sparkle by honoring my time: setting boundaries, blocking time, listening to real resonance, filtering feedbacks. My time is my most precious asset and I decide how to use it. Thank you Ella for reconnecting me with myself!
